Who will dethrone Wladimir?

father time and that could happen very soon

I see no one out there that I feel could probably pull it off.

A punchers chance is all these mortal have.

[Weltschmerz]

No, you are OVERrating his chin, that chin is pure glass, Sanders is not an all time great puncher, fair enough he hit hard but the others didn't exactly hit like Foreman did they?

Vladimir is the hardest puncher of all time, and that is a quote by Emanuel Steward.

Sanders certainly had one of the most devastating left hooks ever. He rocked Vitali harder than Lennox Lewis did, do the math.

BOMB SQUAD!!!!!!

I came here to post Father Time as well.

His chin is actually underrated. Sanders was one of the hardest punchers of all time, and he didn't KO him cold. Sanders rocked Vitali, one of the most iron chinned fighters of all time.

Haye caught Vlad a couple times flush, nothing happened. Vladimir has a good chin, Vitali is iron chinned.

Sanders couldn't KO Rahman, who was KO'd by Lewis, Maskaev, and Tua.

Other than Lewis and Sanders (Who wasn't even THAT big of a puncher), what hard punchers has Vitali faced?

[Enzo Mc is SHIT]

Haye caught Vlad a couple times flush, nothing happened.

Disagree with that. Haye finally caught him flush in the 11th or 12th (think it was 12th) and Wlad was clinging on for dear life.

I think the only way he takes another loss is by either going on too long or Wilder somehow landing a huge punch before getting KOed himself. If it's the latter, it gets avenged in a brutal rematch beatdown.

i'm not sure if you're implying that he's never lost, or just that he goes undefeated for the rest of his career.


wladimir has lost three fights, all by knockout. once to corrie sanders, once to lamon brewster, and once to journeyman ross puritty.

I meant undefeated for the rest of his career. Poor word choice I guess. That's why I said he's more savvy now. Before he would get hurt and stopped. Now if he got hurt, he would hold and find a way to survive imo.

[Divine Hammer]

he will retire on top as one of the greatest HWs of all time.

[Long jabber]

You don't piss me off, I like you. But I am quite sure you would like the HW champ of the world to be American, and it bothers you a bit.

You have to accept just supporting Andre Ward, at least he is 168pounds. He headbutted and clinched Kessler all the time though, and he ducked the Froch rematch.

i want the HW champ to come out and be exciting. he is representing the position of the worlds strongest fighter who has more than a good chance to defeat every single man on this earth

wlad vs povetkin proved he doesnt have that but he redeemed himself with that leapai preformance. if he can keep doing that against legit top ten fighters not abc ranked fighters then i would rate him in my top 5. I DONT EVEN LIKE WLAD but if he shows the skills against the rest of his comp i think that proves he has what it takes to take on HWs of different eras
